Delicious Plantain Peel & Carrot Chutney is ready to be served.

Note :

---------

1) In this chutney I used only the plantain peel not the pulp.

2) This is an other way to use the plantain peel without discarding it as it has lots of healthy nutrients.

3) This chutney is very healthy because we use only 2tsps of oil just for the seasoning.
